About D&D Dragonborn Names
Dragonborn names are draconic — angular, powerful, and built from sounds that echo the ancient language of dragons. A dragonborn's personal name is chosen at birth and carries family honour, while their clan name represents generations of lineage and is carried with immense pride.
Dragonborn are often called by a shorter version of their name by those close to them. Bharash might be called Shar; Nadarr might be called Dar. The clan name comes before the personal name in formal situations, reflecting the Dragonborn priority of family over individual.
